Patent number: 11995808Abstract: Various examples are directed to apparatus and methods for enhancing an X-ray medical image. In one example, a method for X-ray dental images enhancement is provided. The method includes receiving an input image and applying the noise reduction trough Recursive Locally-Adaptive Wiener Filtration (RLA-WF) based on the sliding window, which is calculated following a recursive two-dimensional scheme; contrast enhancement to the filtered image, including using recursive Sliding Window Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (SW-CLAHE) utilizing a Truncation Threshold Surface (TTS) for calculation of the truncation threshold for the local histogram in each sliding window. The method also includes applying sharpness enhancement to the input image, including using Fast Recursive Adaptive Unsharp Masking (FRA-UM) utilizing a sliding window with two or one-dimensional recursion, to obtain a sharpened image.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Abova, IncInventors: Roumen Kountchev, Michael McGuire, Peter Vladimirov

Publication number: 20240168700Abstract: An electronic shelf label (ESL) system is discussed. An ESL affixed to a shelf facing assists stock associates in managing products on the shelf. More particularly, the ESL may receive and display step-by-step instructions and/or graphical depictions on a display screen of the ESL that are received from a computing device-executed optimization module. The instructions may be generated to minimize the number of required actions by the stock associate and guide the associate in arranging products on the shelf. The displayed instructions may be determined based on a planogram. The planogram may be generated from a range of criteria including historical profit and loss data, inventory data, supply and demand data and/or labor cost data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Michelle Collett, Michael McGuire, Yiqiang Su

Publication number: 20240119664Abstract: A remote device utilizes ray tracing to compute a light field for a scene to be rendered, where the light field includes information about light reflected off surfaces within the scene. This light field is then compressed utilizing one or more video compression techniques that implement temporal reuse, such that only differences between the light field for the scene and a light field for a previous scene are compressed. The compressed light field data is then sent to a client device that decompresses the light field data and uses such data to obtain the light field for the scene at the client device. This light field is then used by the client device to compute global illumination for the scene. The global illumination may be used to accurately render the scene at the mobile device, resulting in a realistic scene that is presented by the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Michael Stengel, Alexander Majercik, Ben Boudaoud, Morgan McGuire

Patent number: 11935289Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and system that manage agricultural analysis in dynamic environments includes detecting a location of one or more agricultural objects of interest in image data of an environment captured by a sensor device during active navigation of the environment. An orientation and position of the sensor device with respect to the image data is determined. Each of the one or more agricultural objects of interest is analyzed based on the image data, the detected location of the one or more agricultural objects of interest, and the determined orientation and position of the sensor device to determine one or more characteristics about the one or more agricultural objects of interest. At least one action is initiated based on the determined one or more characteristics about the one or more agricultural objects of interest.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: EARTHSENSE, INC.Inventors: Girish Chowdhary, Chinmay Soman, Patric Liu, Michael McGuire, Michael Hansen

Patent number: 11922567Abstract: The present invention facilitates efficient and effective image processing. A network can comprise: a first system configured to perform a first portion of lighting calculations for an image and combing results of the first portion of lighting calculations for the image with results of a second portion of lighting calculations; and a second system configured to perform the second portion of lighting calculations and forward the results of the second portion of the lighting calculations to the first system. The first and second portion of lighting calculations can be associated with indirect lighting calculations and direct lighting calculations respectively. The first system can be a client in a local location and the second system can be a server in a remote location (e.g., a cloud computing environment). The first system and second system can be in a cloud and a video is transmitted to a local system.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Morgan McGuire, Cyril Crassin, David Luebke, Michael Mara, Brent Oster, Peter Shirley, Peter-Pike Sloan, Christopher Wyman
